The 24 Games of Christmas! Day #3: Mario Party 10

It’s that time of year again! The Christmas countdown is a tradition at Digitally Downloaded. Like the advent calendars filled with a chocolate each day, with our Christmas countdown we highlight a game each day that is perfect to help you get through the silly season.

Christmas is a time for family and friends, so it’s a good time of year to bust out the multiplayer games. It’s typically a time that people get some holidays, so it’s a good time to knock off some of those RPGs from the backlog.

More than anything else, it’s a good time for gaming. So grab a game or two from our little list and have yourself a Merry Christmas!

Mario Party 10 isn’t the franchise’s magnum opus, but it’s still
a reliably decent party game perfect for groups. It makes fine use of those
amiibo that are no doubt hogging your shelf space with a mode that takes the
series back to basics.

If you’re in the mood for something fresher (and are
prepared to be labelled a sadist by family and friends alike during the most
wonderful time of the year), though, you can choose to play as Bowser and wreak
havoc on all the proceedings. It’s a neat little mode that lets a fifth player
stick their nose in and offers up one of the more unique multiplayer
experiences out there.
